ship Theobald to sea from Discovery,

Not the least of the attraction this year
for the musie-loving people 10 Fort
Townsend have been the DeMoss family.
Their entertainment Saturday evening
would have done credit to any profes-
sionals on the road. C!ea-, sweet voices
and exquisite ability on instruments
render this family host before the pub
lie. The hall would be filled to greet
them could they return for a second en-
tertainment. The elder DeMoss is
blessed with one of the finest voices we
have ever heard-rich, full-toned, clear
and soft. The quartette of younger
folks, composed of Misses Lizzie and
Minnie and Messrs. Henry and George
DeMoss, carries the soprano, alto, tenor
and bass of any music with grand rith-
mic swell or sweet, soothing cadence
that evokes tears or laughter at will. No
wonder they have had successful pro-
tessional career.

Darwin, Denison, Jacobs, Lewis and
Greene, ard now enters upon a new
lease Of official preierment, to last prob
ably through the coming four years al
least Among the local applicants here
were: Messrs. {. 4. Dyer, county audi
tor; ". L. Whittlesey, prCbate Judge
aud l.. h. Flowers, OF the CdH publish
ers. They had n right 10 expect that {
democrat or one protesting democratic
.f.iin would succeed 10 the office; but
probably their contention served TO de
eide the Judge in favor OF the present
